What I found interesting was when I googled "tiki iniki", the trademark was registered to none other than Kauai resident TODD RUNDGREN! Okay, okay the chances of it being a classic tiki joint are very, very slim. But the chances of a Todd Rundgren joint being extremely weird are very, very good.

I would have been very surprised if the bar would be like that, done and all, if they'd open in a year.

Good call Virani, it is my Jungalero Lounge on the marker web page for Tiki Iniki but it is a photo taken by Trader Scott Kirkham. It is very similar to the Imbibe Magazine shot though. I've been chatting a bit with the Mrs. Rundgren (super cool, btw) and she has my permission to use the photo -also very flattered that she intends to use the Jungalero as inspiration for Tiki Iniki Been a fan of hubby Todd for as long as I can remember.

Todd's wife Michelle came in July and bought a BUNCH of our vintage tiki mugs. I hear she's been hitting all the vintage stores around Portland and cleaning them out! Using vintage mugs will be a nice touch!
